Mark your calendars! Transformer fan Donald Grayson contacted Seibertron.com to let us in on a secret: while opening his exclusive Calvin Johnson sneakers/exclusive Generations: Thrilling 30 IDW Megatron, he found a small card, one that teased of "big news" during next year's Superbowl, which will be held on 2 February. Based on previous track records, it is very possible that this is when we will see the first trailer for the much anticipated Age of Extinction film.

Jonathan Cathey of The Loyal Subjects sent us a note to let the public know that their exclusive Starscream and Cobra Commander set will be available at the Newbury Comics store, located in Providence, Rhode Island on Saturday November 23rd. Designer Les Schettkoe will make an appearance during this event.

We've included the press release and images below

To our Friends, Family and Partners,

The Loyal Subjects are expanding the Transformers line of mini collectibles and combining them with G.I. Joe for the very first time! Up to now, only Hasbro has mashed these two delicious, heroic and equally villainous worlds together – most recently during the 2012 SDCC campaign where Cobra Commander piloted Starscream. Of Course! It makes perfect sense! Not only are these two of the Universe’s most treacherous villains, Stascream needs a leader to direct him to his selfish spoils! If not Megatron, who better than Cobra Commander?

These two characters are linked more than most think. The same voice talent for Starscream was also the voice of Cobra Commander. These two characters belong together in the lore of treachery and villainy.

The Loyal Subjects are proud to announce the Exclusive Cobra Commander x Starscream two-pack set with our esteemed and famed retail partner Newbury Comics! Only available through Newbury Comics for a cool collectible price – between $28.00-$30.00 per set (please check with Newbury Comics). The 2 pack boasts two three inch figurines and a gold stun blaster wielded by Cobra Commander. Exclusive and special window box packaging keeps these collectibles unique so keep the box!

The Loyal Subjects and series designer Les Schettkoe will be on hand at the Newbury Comics Providence, Rhode Island location Saturday November 23rd from 2p-5:30p. Door prizes, raffles and special Hasbro give-aways will be on hand so don’t miss out! Providence is the hometown of Hasbro and one of Newbury Comic’s busiest locations so what better place to kick this party off right!

Edition size – 1,000 Sets

See you there!

About The Loyal Subjects –

As Donnie and Marie famously said when describing their act, "I'm a little bit Country and I'm a little bit Rock and Roll", or the incidental marriage of two flavorful elements (Chocolate and Peanut Butter) merging into a tasty flash of brilliance, the same experimental spirit can be said when describing The Loyal Subjects - "We're a little bit Willy Wonka, dunked in a Koonsian ether topped off with some Iggy Pop." Voila! The Loyal Subjects in a nutshell.

The Loyal Subjects was born in 2009. Our Mission? Let's have fun, do what we like and keep true to a creative spirit. So far so good. What do we value? The creative process, our ideas and most importantly, YOU!
We hope that we can keep you engaged, entertained and we plan on surpassing your expectations. Stick with us kids, we're going places!
